Assuming you have a working grass installation and you have downloaded the grass-addons, enter the grass-addon directory of you interest (for example if you want to install i.pr):
cd /your-path/grass-addons/imagery/i.pr/


Next you have to point "make" to the GRASS installation directory (not the source!), something like:
make MODULE_TOPDIR=usr/local/grass-6.4.svn

Finally you have to re-run "sudo make install" from within the GRASS-source directory.

That should do it.

P.S. I can't get i.pr working. I've read the help files and the tried the example commands but I always get a Black image when I run i.pr_training. If you have any success could you please post an example?
